rogerclee Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Sick hand, guess I would just bid 3N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Note to self: Don't double Roger. The problem is an issue of methods. It would be great on this hand to double and if partner bids 3S, to play that 3N is absolutely to play. That is unfortunately not the case, since partner will pull 3N to 4S basically anytime he has 5 spades (we showed a flexible hand and he must have nothing in diamonds). This would be bad for us, since 5C is in much more danger of going down than 3N. Double gains when partner doesn't bid 3S (either 4S showing some signs of life, even though this may be a tricky auction, or 3H/4H which would be amazing since we can bid keycard). I don't think it's worth the risk though, but I could be wrong. It's not like anyone has a lot of experience with this kind of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 4♣ Gerber, followed by specific King ask. Anyone? No? Ok, then just start with Dbl :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 :P 6♣ I suppose since I can pull trumps and the ♥ king is a strong favorite not to be on my left. Otherwise 3NT. I am NOT going to double with a stiff spade. Having two opponents at the table is tuff enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecalm Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 6H Damn, my pattern recognition doesn't work well enough. This time I haven't even thought about it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 6H Damn, my pattern recognition doesn't work well enough. This time I haven't even thought about it :( hah it doesnt make sense on this hand since your side 3 card suit is solid meaning you won't need the discards so you're fine :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 3NT for me, 3♥ also a good option, then you can ask for keycards if partner raises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduran1216 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I think 3H is suicide, what can partner have to raise you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Science has its risks, they though Einstein was crazy too! on the other hand why did you say you like 3♥? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromageGB Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Looking at the expected values in partner's hand, I would reckon him to have KJ in spades and nothing else. No entries to take the heart finesse, so 6C looks like 2 or 3 off. 3♥ will play there, as even if partner has K♥ in addition, he will pass because I may be much weaker. It has to be X. Ace ask if he bids hearts, 3NT if he bids spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pict Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 'Other' was 6C for me - obvious reasons, right or wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I think 6♥ is suicide, because you only have 5 ♣s. You need 6 ♣s to bid slam in your 4 card suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 6H Don't you need a 6th club to make this bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
